Tuxedo M-1000C-BLK Pneumatic Motorcycle Lift

An 84" by 24" working platform is a lot of table. That is the defining number on the M-1000C-BLK: seven feet of deck length means a long touring bike sits on the platform with room at both ends for you to work, instead of hanging its wheels over the edges. Add a 1,000 lb rating and shop-air operation and you have a bench that will take almost anything on two wheels, plus the ATVs, snowmobiles and watercraft the manufacturer lists, without needing a single electrical connection. The BLK is the black powder-coated version of the table.

Why the deck size is the specification that matters

Capacity is the number people compare and deck area is the number they regret. Most bikes a shop sees are nowhere near 1,000 lbs; almost all of them are long. A short platform forces you to choose which end of the machine to support properly, puts the front wheel out past the deck where a vise cannot hold it, and leaves nowhere to set a wheel down when it comes off. At 84" long and 24" wide the platform carries the bike and gives you deck to work from. The overall footprint including the ramp comes to 108" by 47".

Air only — no motor, no power unit, no circuit

The BLK runs on shop air at 90–100 PSI. There is no electric power unit to find a home for, no motor to service and nothing to plug in, which has three practical effects: the bench can stand wherever your air line reaches rather than wherever an outlet is; it adds nothing to the electrical load of a garage that is already close to its limit; and there is one less assembly on the machine that can fail. The trade is absolute — without a compressor that will hold 90–100 PSI under load, the table does not operate at all. Confirm your compressor before you order.

Configure it for your shop

The manufacturer offers a range of accessories for this table, which is a more useful design decision than it sounds. A bench bought for general service can later take on the fittings a tire-focused or restoration-focused shop needs, so the table follows the business rather than being replaced by it. Accessories are options, however, not contents — see the section below.

Confirm the raised height with us first

Published lifting-height figures for this table differ. The manufacturer's feature list carried on this page gives a working height expressed in feet, while the specification sheet for the same model gives a maximum lifting height expressed in inches. Those are not two ways of stating the same measurement, so neither is printed here as the raised height. Raised working height is usually the whole point of buying a bench, so please ask us to confirm the figure in writing before you order and we will take it from the manufacturer's own spec sheet. The 7" minimum deck height is settled across both sources and is given in the table below.

Will it fit your shop?

Mark out 108" by 47" on the floor. That is the machine. Then decide which long side you will work from — both, ideally — and leave clear space there, because a motorcycle bench with one side against a wall is half a bench. Ahead of the ramp you need a straight, clear run to roll a bike up; in a single-car garage that approach, not the bench, is usually what decides whether the plan works.

The floor should be flat, level and sound under all feet. The air line needs to reach the bench position with enough hose to allow the table to be used, not just connected. The unit ships at 395 lbs, and getting it into position, providing the air supply and securing each machine to the table are the customer's responsibility.

Perfect for

• Shops working on long touring and cruiser bikes, where deck length is the real constraint.
• Powersport dealers and rental fleets covering two-wheel, ATV, snowmobile and watercraft service on one table.
• Garages with air but no spare circuit in the intended corner.
• Shops that care how the bay looks — this is the black powder-coated finish of the table.

What comes with it

Stated in the data: the pneumatic table with its extra-large platform, air-powered operation, and the black finish. The accessory range is explicitly described as a choice you make, so treat wheel vises, extensions, tie-down kits and drop-out panels as separate purchases unless we confirm otherwise in writing. We would rather tell you that now than have you open a crate expecting a vise.

Specifications

Approvals: an honest note

The documentation we hold for this table claims no third-party safety listing, and we are not going to suggest otherwise. Insurers, employer equipment policies and local inspectors do not all ask the same question about lifting equipment, so if you are working to a defined requirement, tell us what it is and we will confirm in writing what the manufacturer can supply before you buy.

Shipping and delivery

This bench travels as freight within the lower 48 states, and checkout quotes the real freight cost for your address live rather than estimating it. The unload is yours to arrange: a forklift, a dock, sufficient hands and equipment, or collection from the carrier's terminal. Where delivery is to a residential address a residential fee applies and is added at checkout. Warehouse pickup is offered if you would sooner collect.

Look the shipment over before you sign for it. A bent ramp, a punctured crate, crushed corners or banding that has let go should all be recorded on the bill of lading while the driver is standing there — that record is what turns damage into a claim rather than a disagreement.

Warranty

Warranty claims go through our warranty claims page. Leave the machine assembled until the claim is open: taking apart a cylinder, an air valve or a lock to work out what is wrong is the single most common reason a good claim is declined. Photograph the fault, record the serial number, and contact us before you start.
